Ivankovic is about to land in China and officially lead the national football team to the World Preliminaries. As a veteran coach who has been famous in Europe for a long time, Ivankovic is known as the savior of Chinese football by the outside world, and his arrival has also soared the probability of the national football team entering the World Cup.
It is reported that Ivankovic is extremely dissatisfied with the Football Association's practice of setting up a Chinese coaching staff for the national football team. Ivankovic said that if the Chinese coaching staff can understand everything they say and implement everything according to their own philosophy, doesn't it mean that there is no difference between themselves and the Chinese coach? In other words, the intervention of the Chinese coaching staff will not only complicate things, but also make Ivankovic feel insecure, and he will not be able to let go of his hands and feet in the national football team, which will undoubtedly affect the results of the national football team.
In fact, during the Jankovic period, the Chinese Football Association introduced the policy of the Chinese coaching staff. But in terms of the final effect, it is not ideal. During the Asian Cup, the camera repeatedly captured the picture of Zheng Zhi, a member of the Chinese coaching staff, drawing a tactical board to explain to the players, which made the main coach Jankovic can only stand awkwardly on the sidelines, appearing to have no sense of existence. In addition, the national football players are more familiar with and understand the Chinese coaches, which leads to the possibility of foreign coaches being hollowed out, and the communication gap with the players cannot be resolved.
As a result, Ivankovic's attitude was very tough, and he demanded that the Football Association remove the Chinese coaching staff to ensure that his coaching would not be interfered with by others. As a core member of the Chinese coaching staff, Zheng Zhi's current situation is relatively embarrassing, and the Football Association is also in a dilemma. After all, Zheng Zhi is the veteran captain of the national football team, and his relationship with many high-level members of the Football Association is also very close, if he agrees to Ivankovic's request, he will undoubtedly offend Zheng Zhi, but if he doesn't agree, Ivankovic may not buy it.
Therefore, although the new coach of the national football team has been finalized, there are still a series of contradictions. If the Football Association cannot balance the relationship between the foreign coaches led by Ivankovic and the Chinese coaching staff led by Zheng Zhi, then the national football team will still not be able to play its strongest combat effectiveness. On the contrary, in the game between Ivankovic and Zheng Zhi, the combat effectiveness of the national football team will be greatly consumed, and the situation of the Chinese team in the world preliminaries will become confusing. Therefore, now is the best time for Song Kai, chairman of the Football Association, to stand up and solve this problem, and his handling methods and results can also show Song Kai's real management level.
